Formaldehyde or solutions thereof are contacted with a composition containing urea, phosphoric acid or ammonium chloride and water, they are allowed to be neutralized by the composition and the reaction product can readily be disposed.

Description
~ ~ 3 il ~
The present invention relates to a method of neutralizing hazardous products and a composition therefor. More particularly, the present invention is concerned with a method for the treatment of formaldehyde and formaldehyde bearing solutions, particularly those which are used such as in hospital laboratories, medical and veterinary research and testing laboratories and mortuaries, for tissue fixation, for providing biological sample preservatives, and the like to render the solutions readily disposable for dumping and for external treatment without harming the environment.
The reaction of urea with formaldehyde to provide a copolymer and the resultant neutralization of formaldehyde has been known for a long time. As a matter of fact, any skilled chemist would know that this reaction was one of the first to be disclosed in the field of polymer chemistry. It would therefore be normal to expect that each time formaldehyde becomes a problem, urea would be used to offset the possibly harmful effects of formaldehyde. For example, it is well known that in a chemical plant, or in a laboratory, a formaldehyde spill which cannot be otherwise disposed of, may be treated with urea to at least partially neutralize its effects. While the use of formaldehyde is essential for tissue preservation, the-discharge of formaldehyde bearing wastes however, is looked upon as damaging to the environment. Formaldehyde users are normally forced to employ waste management companies to deal with the disposal problem.
However, to the knowledge of the applicant, in the case of large amounts of formaldehyde or formaldehyde bearing solutions, no proposal has been advanced to safely, efficiently and economically handle these products without harming the -:. ~

which are used in hospital laboratories, medical and veterinary research and testing laboratories, and mortuaries.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a method of treatment of formaldehyde and formaldehyde bearing solutions which are used for tissue fixation, for providing biological sample preservatives and the like to render said formaldehyde and formaldehyde bearing solutions readily disposable for dumping or for external treatment without harming the environment, which comprises contacting said formaldehyde or formaldehyde bearing solution with a composition comprising about 30 to about 55 weight percent urea, about 3 to about 12 weight percent of a product selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid and ammonium chloride,the balance consisting of water, allowing substantially all the formaldehyde or formaldehyde bearing solution to be neutrali~ed by the composition to give a reaction product, and disposing of the reaction product.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises about 30 to about 50 weight percent urea, about 5 to about 12 weight percent ammonium chloride, the balance consisting of water, most preferably about 40 weight percent urea and about 8 weight percent ammonium chloride.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises about 40 to about 55 weight percent urea, about 3.5 to about 7 weight percent phosphoric acid, the balance consisting of water, most preferably and 50 weight percent urea and about 4.3 weight percent phosphoric acid.

The product which results from the treatment according to the invention, is an inert powder residue which is environmentally harmless and safe for disposed such as into a normal sewer system.
EXAMPLE
DAILY DISPOSAL SYSTEM
For the daily neutralization of formaldehyde solutions in regular use, the following procedure should be followed:
a) Calculate the lab's daily formaldehyde solution waste generated.
b) A covered plastic reservoir is filled a sufficient amount of a composition according to the invention containing 55 weight percent urea, 4.3 weight percent H3PO4, and water to neutralize the maximum daily formaldehyde waste generated by the lab.
The following table shows the required quantities.
Per liter of Formaldehyde Amount of Content ~ composition required*
1- Formaldehyde 37%37% 1.7 lts 2- Fixative solutions 4% 275 ml.
4% with acid, sulphate alcohol buffer 3- Fixative solutions 10~ 550 ml.
10% with acid, phosphate buffers 4- Fixative solutions 6% 385 ml.
6% with acid/phosphate buffers 5- Formalin 10% with4% 275 ml.
* Includes a 10 percent safery margin against excess formaldehyde content. The reservoir is sized to hold a minimum of 50 liters.

.
,, ' ~ . ,.
As waste formaldehyde solutions are generated, they are disposed of directly into the reservoir. The neutralization occurs immediately and a fine inert powdered residue settles at the bottom of the container. The reservoir is kept covered unless open to deposit waste solution. At the end of the day, the contents of the reservoir are stirred and allowed to stand for 15 minutes to assure that all formaldehyde has been neutralized.
The inert powder residue is environmentally harmless and safe to dispose of into the sewer system. The reservoir can be moved from the lab and washed with water. Once rinsed, the container can be reused.
Tests made with compositions containing various ranges of urea and phosphoric acid, and substituting ammonium chloride for phosphoric acid, within the ranges specified above, gave equivalent results.
It is understood that modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, provided the composition falls within the scope of the appended claims.
